Last night I finished the display mount. The display comes with an arm that mounts to a wall behind the lathe. My lathe is not against a wall so I needed to fabricate a post.
I made my post from 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" square tubing with a 4" x 4" base. I welded two ears to support the arm and welded the bottom mounting plate. The arm and pivot are new ones I made from 3/4" x 1 1/2" aluminum bar stock. Here are the photos. I'm all done!
